Renewing one's Islam by uttering the word of (Oneness of God) is a righteous deed that does no harm; rather, it benefits its doer. It is stated in the : "Renew your faith. It was asked: O Messenger of Allah, how do we renew our faith? He said: Increase in saying: 'La ilaha illa Allah' (There is no god but Allah)." One must strive against their self to get rid of these whispers and turn away from them, for a Muslim does not abandon their religion merely by these whispers.
